Spodus vs HubSpot
The whole business, not just the funnel.
HubSpot's hubs get pricey fast as contacts and seats climb.

HubSpot does one job. Spodus does five.
Everything you'd bolt onto HubSpot, and pay for separately, is already in one Spodus seat.
HubSpot
The CRM tool
- Per-seat, per-hub pricing that jumps at every tier and contact threshold.
- Marketing-first, with finance and HR left to other tools entirely.
- Paywalled essentials, reporting, automation, and limits gated behind upgrades.
- Contacts inflate the bill even when they never do a thing.
Spodus
The whole suite, one seat
- One bill, five products on every plan, at one rate per seat.
- The whole operation, not just sales and marketing.
- Automations and dashboards included on every plan, no upsell.
- Contacts and portal customers are free, never a seat, with room for a million records on Growth.
Watch the tiers, not the sticker price.
HubSpot's entry price climbs quickly with seats, contact counts, and the jump to Professional.
HubSpot's published pricing
- Starting price
- $15+/seat/mo, climbs by hub
- Pricing scales by
- Seats + contacts + hubs
HubSpot figures are their own published prices as of August 2026.
A Spodus bill has one meter.
- Seats, and only seats: the people you give a login.
- Not contacts, not the customers in your portal, not payroll headcount.
- No packs, no bands. The eleventh person is one more seat.
- One rate covers all five products. A plan sets limits and controls, never which products you get.
Why teams switch.
Three arguments for moving off HubSpot, the row-by-row table behind them, and one argument against.
- 01
Pricing you can predict
No charge per contact, no hub multipliers, no charge for the people you serve. One seat rate, the same at three people or ninety.
- 02
Finance and HR, not just marketing
Invoice customers and run your team in the same place you track deals, HubSpot leaves both to other tools.
- 03
Free portal customers
A customer opens and tracks a ticket without an account, so they never cost a seat or count as a billable contact.

Being fair about it.
Where HubSpot fits better: if inbound marketing is your core motion, landing pages, email nurture, and a deep content/SEO toolset, HubSpot's Marketing Hub is more specialized than Spodus.

Questions, answered
Yes. Bring contacts, companies, deals, and pipelines in by CSV or a guided import; custom properties map to Spodus fields.
No. A contact is a record, not a login, so it never takes a seat. Each plan holds a set number of records, 250,000 on Starter and 1,000,000 on Growth, and only a database bigger than that moves you up a plan. Seats are the people you give a Spodus account; your customers in the support portal never get one and are free and unlimited.
Yes. Automations, dashboards, and saved views are included on every paid plan, not gated behind a Professional upgrade.
